These recommendations will improve your health, balance, and restore your entire being. You didn't know you could feel this good!

What to expect when enrolling in an Ayurveda program

Ayurveda Therapy is not a single consultation. It is instead an introduction to a series of many aspects of Ayurveda, slowly and steadily, to restore mind and body wellness over a period of time. In order to gain the maximum benefits from an Ayurveda program, please consider participating in all of the following steps:

1) Introductory Consultation (60 Minutes) to identify your body type and Doshas. This start-up plan includes Diet improvement recommendations, Lifestyle improvements, Detoxification therapies and encouragement for body type yoga postures along with medication.

2) Follow-up Consultations are necessary every 3 months to accommodate seasonal changes and tips.
